Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, ground cumin, paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain moisture.
Step 7
Garnish the grilled chicken with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving.
Step 8
Serve with your choice of sides, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables, and enjoy this delicious fusion dish.
